Winter 2024 - Week 1 in Review
Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time, as well as to motherfucking 2024. I’m hoping this year will be an improvement on the last, which, considering that my house burned down, probably shouldn’t be that much of a struggle. Unfortunately it’s also an election year, meaning there’s a fair chance 2024 will conclude in chaos and total anarchy, but I suppose we must take the bad with the…

552 to go
Performance (1970, dir. Nicolas Roeg, Donald Cammell):I'll be honest, I had a difficult time following this one. On the plus side, Mick Jagger is very nice to look at.
Ride Lonesome (1959, dir. Budd Boetticher): A very tight, economical 73 minutes, for good and for ill. Good, because this thing is perfectly paced, not one minute wasted. Ill, because it gets very tell-don't-show at times and a lot of pre-established Western tropes (specifically in regards to Native Americans and women) go completely unexamined.
Pickpocket (1959, dir. Robert Bresson): This is the second Bresson film I've seen and as with the first, I admire it more than I like it.
Roma (2018, dir. Alfonso Cuarón): I have no excuse for not having watched this sooner but I'm so glad I finally got around to it. Absolutely stunning and left me an emotional wreck, 10/10.
High Plains Drifter (1973, dir. Clint Eastwood): Incredibly nihilistic and dark. Those final scenes are absolute perfection but I can't say I love the two (two!!) instances of rape-to-sex.
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001, dir. Steven Spielberg): Liked this more than I thought I would. And I don't get why anyone would think the ending is a cop-out or somehow not as relentlessly sad as the rest of the film?

Ride Lonesome was so disappointing. I saw the last five minutes in a hospital waiting room and had high hopes, because the finale sequence is quite good, with nice tension.
The film slogged through the first hour, with too long of a sequence devoted to unsavourily stereotyped unnamed indigenous characters. The dialogue, especially in regards to 'the woman' and her needs by men who had barely known her for a day, not only aged badly but was poorly written.
Even as the film picked up a bit near the end the dialogue continued to bring it down in the worst case of 'tell don't show' I've ever seen. Character backstories and relationships were entirely developed through single lines of dialogue, and this is not a hyperbole. Even the motivation of the leading man Brigade was only given 2 lines of dialogue and devoid of any narrative foreshadowing or build up.
The most frustrating part is I can see so much potential had they cut a bunch of the uselessly boring plot and simmered it down to a more character driven piece. The bare bones of the conflict between Boone and Brigade over who collects the bounty are there, and would have made an infinitely more interesting movie than what was made. The pieces of dialogue alluded to a story that could have been shown instead of crammed into the conversation version of a footnote, and were more compelling than almost anything shown onscreen.
The only positive thing I can say for the film and all it's wasted potential is that final shot of the hanging tree burning is still excellent, and has an appropriately dramatic score. No wonder I wanted to see the movie after seeing that, it was the best 20 seconds of the film. It's a shame the rest of it never lived up to its promise.

“I’m afraid of a lot of things, Steve,” Bucky says softly.
“But this thing sticking in my heart—the part of me that’s yours? It is the best part of me. Maybe the only good part.” His rueful smile wavers. He makes a pained expression.
“What if it’s the only good part?” he asks.
Two Brooklyn boys find themselves aboard an orphan train headed west in 1854. Across farmland, war, and the lawless frontier, a childhood promise helps them find each other again.

as much as I love scout harding, saying the western approach is "the worst place in the entire world" is such a cold take. there's sand. there's elfroot. there's a fucking awesome dragon. what more could you possibly want
